答案：BACCC

解析：

1. 题目问的是“为什么其他客人没怎么注意到和在牧羊人交谈的陌生人？”，根据原文，牧羊人和陌生人说话时，其他客人没怎么注意到这个陌生人，因为他们正讨论小提琴手接下来应该拉什么曲子（对应原文：During this conversation the other visitors had not taken much notice of the stranger, because they were discussing what the fiddler should play next.）。故选B。

2. 题目问的是“和第一个陌生人对比，以下关于第二个陌生人的说法哪一项是正确的？”，根据原文，第二个陌生人神色要欢快一些，他比第一个人大几岁，头发灰白，红光满面（对应原文：This one was very different from the first. There was a more cheerful look about him. He was several years older, with greying hair and a full, reddish face. Under his long wet coat he was wearing a dark grey suit.）。故选A。

3. 题目问的是“为什么第二个陌生人坐到了第一个陌生人旁边？”，根据原文，第二个陌生人脱下外套、摘下帽子，被跳舞的人们推到了壁炉边的桌子旁（对应原文：The second visitor took off his coat and hat, and sat down heavily at the table, which the dancers had pushed into the chimney corner. He found himself sitting next to the first stranger, who smiled politely at him and passed him the mug of mead.）。故选C。

4. 题目问的是“牧羊人芬内尔的妻子在看到陌生人恣意喝自己最好的蜂蜜酒时，有何感觉？”，根据原文，芬内尔太太看着他，对这种恣意喝自己最好的蜂蜜酒的行为感到很不高兴（对应原文：The second man took it, lifted it to his mouth, and drank without stopping, watched by Mrs Fennel, who was not pleased at this free drinking of her best mead.）。故选C。

5. 题目问的是“第二个陌生人想用自己的小笑话表达什么？”，根据原文，第二个陌生人说自己喜欢蜂蜜酒，就像喜欢星期天去教堂做礼拜、喜欢把钱施舍给穷人一样，其实是在表达自己对蜂蜜酒的喜欢（对应原文：'Oh, but you can't stop making this!' cried the man in grey. He took the mug again and drank the last drop. 'I love mead, as much as I love going to church on Sundays, or giving money to the poor!'）。故选C。
